Photos of Pucon (more blog posts soon to come)

For those of you from California, Pucon is Lake Tahoe of Chile. I spent the last week there with my friend Lauren, whom I've known since the second grade and who is studying this semester in Santiago.

Pucon is a small town which sits next to the Lago Villarica, the largest lake of Chile's Lake District. Just beyond the town is the still-active Villarica Volcano. Nearby are many national parks and several smaller lakes and volcanos. I'm including some of my favorite pictures of the surrounding area below.
